Quote: "Eric Gans, a French and Francophone studies distinguished professor emeritus, violated the UC Policy on Sexual Harassment and the Faculty Code of Conduct by seeking to establish an unwelcome romantic relationship with the student."

"After the investigation, Gans settled a lawsuit with UCLA in November 2014 and agreed to resign from his position as professor. He assumed professor emeritus status, except he was prohibited from teaching or lecturing students, administering research projects funded by gifts or applying for future employment within the UC, among other restrictions."
